It is my privilege to welcome you to Lubbock Christian University for the 2019-2020 academic year.

You can look forward to a year filled with opportunities to learn from dedicated faculty who care about you as a person, to develop meaningful relationships with peers, to engage in a vibrant campus community, and to discern God's calling. This year is a great time to explore and grow in all areas of life.

It is the collaborative work of students, faculty, and staff to care for, and carry out, our mission to be a Christ-centered, academic community of learners, transforming the hearts, minds, and hands of students for lives of purpose and service. This missions speaks to a higher moral expectation for the LCU community - and this LCU Student Handbook provides the structure to help all of us act with integrity, strive to discern right from wrong, speak the truth, and keep our commitments.

I encourage you to embrace your journey this year with perseverance and joy. This will be the best year yet at Lubbock Christian University.
